City basketball teams move up in Class 6A ranks

The city’s top two high school basketball teams — the Lawrence High boys and the Free State girls — both moved up a spot in the latest Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Class 6A rankings, released Monday.

Coming off victories over Shawnee Mission West and Olathe North, the Lions (11-5) are No. 4 in this week’s top 10.

The Firebirds (12-4) defeated Leavenworth and lost to top-ranked Olathe South, 56-48, last week before moving up to No. 9 in the new rankings.
